Scion Tuner Challenge

"What would you do with $10,000, access to the Toyota Racing Development and Scion Authorized accessory catalogues, and a Scion xB, xD or tC? That’s the question posed by the first Canadian Scion Tuner Challenge." (Full details here)


Scion has challenged tuners across Canada to produce concepts of tuned Scions as part of the Scion Tuner Challenge.  This is not a contest for the average Scion fan, but rather for actual car tuners.  The Grand Prize, for each region, is $5,000, an iPad (doesn't specify if it's an iPad 2) and a trip for 2 to SEMA.  Each regional winner (There are 3 regions across Canada - Western, Central and Eastern) gets:

• $10,000 budget to build their concept
• a Scion vehicle to modify (model depends on the region)
• trip for 2 to Importfest in Montreal, including a bit of spending money

Each "Team" must consist of 1 to 8 people.  A team leader needs to be appointed, as well.  A rendering of the concept must be provided as part of the entry, so break out your Photoshop skills. Deadline for entries is MARCH 31st, 2011, so don't delay.

This sounds like an incredible opportunity for the small tuner shops around the country.  I'm sure this contest will produce some unique and exciting entries.  I, for one, look forward to seeing the entries.
